• I am making my portfolio on a Weebly. I have already started crafting it but still have a long ways to go. I have my folders made already as well.


9/28/12
a. Where you are in your process of creating your portfolio (e.g., digital folders and related artifacts, tool choice, actual design, URL, etc.)
  • I have created my portfolio and it is on a Weebly. I have made all of my folders and have added a few things to each.
  • I have added my content knowledge artifacts. I used a english paper for my english artifact and the historical inquiry paper as my history artifact.

b. What your additional categories are that you feel will best represent your identity as a beginning middle grades ELA / SS teacher (at least 2 more than the 5 required ones: content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, impact on student learning, 21st C technologies and skills)
  • I have added a category on my interest in coaching and a picture category. I will add another one probably when I think of it. My picture category has pictures that I have taken throughout my process of becoming a educator.

c. What your initial ideas for a theme are (e.g., an intentional focus or creative metaphor that gives insight to your identity as an individual and a beginning middle grades ELA & SS teacher) and related design considerations (e.g., layout, color scheme, images, quotations, video, etc.)
  • I do not have a theme yet, I am still brainstorming on that right now.

  • I am still trying to decide a theme. I am also still working on what layout I want for my site. I need to have another additional category so I am currently brainstorming on that as well.
  • I uploaded my SIP paper to the leadership and collaboration category today.

10/12
  • Added a lot to my leadership and collaboration section. Made it nice and pretty and organized. I uploaded all of my videos today as well.

11/9
  • Picked a temporary theme for my unit, "My Journey." I will probably end up changing it but I added pictures for it and some quotes today.

  • Finished up all the stuff that I had to complete for the electronic portfolio tonight so that I could present on the due date.
